Types Of Information

This study examined whether the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator Thinking-Feeling Scale, which measures the preferred method of judging, is useful in explaining preference for different types of information among intuitive perceivers. Data from 40 graduates indicated that intuitive thinking types and feeling types do differ in their information preference with the principal difference being that thinking types prefer more objective, quantitative data than feeling types.

Test-retest reliabilities of continuous scores on the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator scales were examined for 64 male and 70 female college students, using an 8-wk. test-retest interval. Reliabilities were generally satisfactory ( rs ranging from .73 to .87) with the exception of scores for males on the Thinking-Feeling scale ( r = .56).

Personnel Administration

The Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) is a useful instrument for team building, strengthening communications, decision making, and for diagnosing organizational dysfunctions. The MBTI is, however, also misued if used for employee selection, or to unfairly stereotype. Misuses of the MBTI and not seeing the instruments' full potential in the organization, stem largely from inadquate training. Training in the MBTI should be expanded to teach how to typewatch, shadow integration, and how to use the MBTI to improve customer relations.

The purpose of this paper was to provide information which might prove useful in the interpretation of the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator. A sample of 209 students provided self-descriptions from the adjectives on the Adjective Check List and took the Myers-Briggs. On the basis of Myers-Briggs scores the sample was divided by sex into groups of extraverts and introverts, sensing and intuitive, thinking and feeling, and judging and perceiving types. Adjectives characteristic of males and females in each group were derived by means of chi-square.

This article casts new and refreshing light on Florence Nightingale’s life and work by examining her personality type. Using the theory-based Myers—Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI), the author examines Nightingale’s personality type and reveals that she was an introverted-intuitive-thinking-judging type. The merit of using the MBTI is that it allows us to more clearly understand three major areas of Nightingale’s life that have been partially unacknowledged or misunderstood: her spiritual development as a practicing mystic, her management of her chronic illness to maintain her prodigious work output, and her chosen strategies to transform her visionary ideas into new health care and social realities.

  We use a modified dictator experiment to examine subjects’ willingness to pay for a ‘fair’ outcome and how this is influenced by social efficiency.  We find that subjects exhibit a downward-sloping demand for the fair outcome that increases when the fair outcome is socially efficient and decreases with the experimental stakes.  Because a subject’s relative emphasis on payoff maximization, fairness and social efficiency may likely be related to personality type, we add controls for personality preferences as measured by the Myers Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI).  This also allows for a more precise examination of gender effects.  We find that personality preferences are important determinants of decision making.  Controlling for personality preferences, we find that women are more likely to choose the fair outcome then men.  This effect is particularly strong when the unequal payoff outcome favors the (passive) responder.

This study examined the relationships between the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator Sensing-Intuition and Thinking-Feeling scales, and the choice of autocratic versus participative decision-making methods as measured by the Vroom/Yetton Problem Set. Data from 62 graduate business students indicate that sensing types tend to be more participative than intuitive types. Further analyses suggest that situational factors may be more important than individual differences in influencing the choice of autocratic versus participative decision-making methods.

Based on data from 343 subjects, results suggest that Thompson's Test of Critical Thinking Skills has reasonable item difficulty and discrimination coefficients and appears to be valid. Construct validity was investigated by administering the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator and the Group Embedded Figures Test. Although conclusions must be considered tentative pending additional study, the results warrant continued inquiry regarding the measure's value.
